1 answer:
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = 19.4 %</h2>
Explanation:
Average electricity consumed per month = 900 kWh
The family cools their house for three months during the summer with two window-unit air conditioners
The power consumed by one window-unit air conditioners = 350 kWh
The power consumed by two window-unit air conditioners = 350(2) = 700 kWh
Power consumed for two air conditioners for the three summer months = 700 (3) = 2100 kWh
Total power consumed for 1 year = 900 (12) = 10800kWh
The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = = 19.4 %

Answer: is 1155 kJ
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics:
=Change in internal energy
q = heat absorbed or released
w = work done or by the system
w = work done by the system= {Work done on the system is positive as the final volume is lesser than initial volume}
w = (1kcal=4.184 kJ)
q = +1.1 MJ = 1100 kJ (1MJ=1000kJ) {Heat absorbed by the system is positive}
Thus is 1155 kJ
